That Awkward Moment When...

I think that I will dedicate the beginning of this blog post to awkward things that have happened in the recent past (well, the few I can remember).

1.  That awkward moment when you go try to sit with someone at church that you think is sitting alone but it turns out that they are sitting with their family?

2.  That awkward moment when you are enjoying your bread bowl soup while chatting with your friends and your plastic spoon breaks in 3 places because you were scraping out the bread.

3.  That awkward moment when you are eating bread bowl soup and while in a struggle to get the soup out it splatters all over your shirt.

4.  That awkward moment when people think you wet your pants but in actuality your dog hopped in your lap and peed on you :(

5.  That awkward moment when a 40 year old man working for the school asks you if you have a facebook and what you're doing this weekend :/

6.  That awkward moment when Leigh Ellen leaves her zipper open all day unknowingly... twice.

7.  That awkward moment when you run up to someone and say HEY!!! and they don't remember who you are and look at you like you're crazy.

8.  That awkward moment when you overhear sounds in your dorm that you wish you had never heard.  If you know what I mean....

9.  That awkward moment when you open your curtains and you think there's an attacker but really it's just a hammock. 



10.  A few weeks ago a friend of mine named Courtney told me that she wanted to go to lunch with me, and said that she'd text me later since I didn't have her number.  A girl that goes to my church named Emily has been trying to set me up with a roommate.  She gave me a girl's email address and told me to get up with her!  Her name is Courtney as well.  I emailed the potential roommate asking her if she had a roommate already and if she didn't I'd love to get lunch with her sometime.  So a week later I get a text saying, "Hey, This is Courtney!  Sorry it took so long to get back with you, can we get lunch some time this week?" So I told her that I'd love to and I was finally thinking yes finally I hopefully have a roommate!!!  So I texted her on Monday night and said, "Hey girl, are we still up for lunch tomorrow?"  She said, "Yea, are you coming to church?" Which I was, so we decided to just plan it out there.  Then it crossed my mind that I had no idea what this girl looked like.  So I said, "Hey, I'm really sorry... but I don't know what you look like" then she said, "You don't know what I look like?" I thought that I had offended her!  So I apologized and she told me to look to my right.  The girl that I was texting the entire time was my friend Courtney.... not the Courtney that needed a roommate.  So the entire time I had been texting an entirely different person! Though I have to say I started praying and within 24 hours I found people I think I'm going to room with and they're awesome!!!  Fingers crossed it works out this time :)

This past weekend I went back home to go to DNOW!! I feel like God has been telling me alot of things lately.  Such as showing me how truly temporary every single thing in this world is.  It won't matter all of the worldly stuff that you had when you die (I mean really, you can't take it with you)...but it will matter how many people accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and live their life for Him!!!  This has really been helping me keep my eyes on the big picture of life and to focus on eternity and not get bogged down into the moment.

Speaking of DNOW... That crazy Crigger.  It's February!!!


So on Monday my organismal biology teacher brought in another critter.  She passed her around in a pan and told us that we could pick her up and pet her.  She's seriously crazy!


This is Rosie the rose-haired tarantula!
